 NB>> Sounds like a reasonable simplification of your life...  :)
 
 BS> Much simpler.  At one time, for reasons beyond my ken, we filed
 BS> Federal Taxes, Colorado Taxes, and Kansas Taxes.  Connie had done this
 BS> tax class and was a "Enrolled Agent".  Her dad would
visit, or we'd go
 BS> to Colorado, and they'd spend hours and hours talking about tax law
 BS> things, he was a lawyer. 
 
Sounds out of my class.... I just do ours...  ;)

 BS>> I called the Officer asking why the Impound people hadn't heard from
 NB>> Still waiting on that....?  or has it been resolved yet...  :)
 
 BS> Resolved, got the car back Wednesday.

Good...  about time...  :)

 BS>  Later that afternoon/evening
 BS> was interesting, I'll ask Michael to forward an email for me.

Got the email... indeed interesting... glad things have simmered down
some now...

 NB>> That was a good deal..   :)

 BS> Yeah, no kidding!  We always tried to figure out ways to make a
 BS> partial payback.  I still take lunch dates with them so I can pay. 
 BS> It's gotten to be a joke, sort of, we make a date, and then cancel for
 BS> some reason, leave the state and say next year.

Now that you won't be trekking so much, maybe you'll be more likely to
connect with them for a lunch date....?

 BS>> *She never would drive the truck, and told everybody I wouldn't let
 NB>> Interesting cast on that...  (G)  Just think how much farther you
 NB>> might have been able to go in a day if you'd switched off driving,
 NB>> though... ;) 

 BS> She just wouldn't drive it, and she always smiled at me when she said
 BS> it*.  She was afraid of the size I think.  Trucks can seem large for
 BS> someone who's never driven one, and then add on 30 feet of 5th wheel. 

I think I might think twice about driving with the 5th wheel attached...
never had the opportunity to haul any trailer... and not really that
sorry about that... ;)

 BS> We weren't in any mad dash to get anywhere.  Pretty much had the trips
 BS> planned and spots for the night reserved in advance, so we knew what
 BS> the days travel were going to look like.  Leave at 8 or 9, arrive at 1
 BS> to 3, drop the 5th wheel, run the slide out, get the
 BS> water/sewage/electricity/satellite/cable hooked up, take the truck in
 BS> for fuel, declare it to be O-Beer-Thirty, and kick back and listen to
 BS> music/read/watch TV until the next days strenous activity.

Sounds like a good rhythm for travel....  when you are bringing your
abode along, it makes a bit of difference how you might deal with
things...  ;)

 BS> *We used to go to Hawaii for a couple of weeks in the winter. 
 BS> Invariably she'd trip on something walking (once on one of them
 BS> concrete parking gizmos while were were walking in front of two police
 BS> officers) and end up with a giant bruise that started about the knee
 BS> and ended at the hip.  Then we'd go to Hawaii and she'd put on a
 BS> bathing suit, and I got glared at by everybody over the age of 8.  I
 BS> accused her of doing it on purpose.  :-)  Of course for a change of
 BS> pace she could trip over a Black Lab in the dead of the night and break
 BS> her nose. 

Just a bit clumsy, eh...?   You aren't suggesting she did it on purpose,
I trust...
